Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the most prominent names in the world of MMA. Two years after his retirement, the fighter is still often discussed when it comes to comparing fighters’ performances.
During his time in the UFC, Khabib was a force of nature and went through all his opponents without even bleeding once. His undefeated career speaks for itself but there is so much that went behind all the success the Dagestani got at the highest level. One of the main reasons was his father and legendary sambo coach, Abdulmanap. It was his input that helped Khabib Nurmagomedov become the dominant fighter he was in the UFC.
In one such viral video, Abdulmanap was asked about Khabib’s approach to not having s*x before fights. Abdulmanap gave credit to the question and hilariously mentioned:
“I try to send him to the training camp 45 days before the competition. To America, away from here.” Abdulmanap revealed that Khabib normally leaves for the US 45 days before the fight so he doesn’t get to be with his wife anymore during the fight camp.
Nurmagomedov trained Khabib and his other students together since they were kids and adopted a way of life that was based on discipline and determination. The former lightweight champion often mentioned his respect for his father and how he helped him have a champion mindset.
Khabib Nurmagomedov reflects on the relationship he had with his father
Nurmagomedov respected his father more than anybody else and he surely did everything to make his father proud. In his interview with Brian J. Roberts, the retired Dagestani fighter discussed his UFC journey, his aspirations for the Eagle FC organization, and his experiences as a father. When asked about the most significant influence in his life, Khabib promptly pointed to his father, Abdulmanap.
He said: “It was my father. He was with me all the time, you know. He gave me advice. He told me what I have to do, what I don’t have to do, you know. Like, he was my mentor, you know”
After the tragic death of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, he only fought once and then hung his gloves. The fighter revealed that he couldn’t see himself going inside the octagon knowing that his father was no more in the world. Fight fans all over the world respected Khabib’s decision but never lost hope about ‘The Eagle’s’ comeback.
